Say it ain't...Snow! Is Nature about to deliver a Christmas Miracle for us snow enthusiasts??? Yes! Now, who will have a White Christmas??? Is there another late Christmas day snow system that will traverse our sub forum??? The table has turned and one that is finally favorable for some of us on here to see the flakes fly during the Christmas holiday.

Considering the GFS was always further south than the Euro and CMC i am very happy with this. It's possible it shifts even slightly further north just yet. I just want an inch, and I'd be happy. 2" and then I'll throw a party.

Happy B day! Hey, at least when you come back home there looks to be some snow OTG...hopefully!

I don't see it going anywhere till at least the January thaw. It's about time Lincoln got snow that's able to stick around! I'm in California so I'm a little bummed but I have snow cover and an active pattern to look forward to when I get back.

So, we get this Clipper wave to amp up, but at the expense of next week's BD. Hmm..while I love snow for Christmas, not sure I like the trade-off tbh. Anyways, great to have something most on here (esp Neb peeps) can get excited for just in time for Santa. Man, what a hole tho for N IA and Wisco/S MN peeps..hope some of you at least have a covering OTG?

Hoping the Euro is right on this system, that would dump a solid 2-4” of snow right over the Omaha metro. The NAM still showing this system mainly to our southwest, however I am liking the trends of this being a little farther north and stronger.

All I really want is at least an inch of snow on the ground Christmas morning, that’s what my kids want... hopefully Mother Nature can deliver this weekend!
